Genetics of growth and reproduction in the turkey. 11. Evidence of nonadditive genetic variation.

Poultry science - 1 May 1991

Emmerson D A, Anthony N B, Nestor K E

Abstract excerpt

A commercial sire line (C) and an experimental population selected solely for increased 16-wk BW (F) were reciprocally crossed to produce crossbred F1 and F2 progeny. The F1 and F2 crosses were used to evaluate the presence of nonadditive genetic variance for growth and reproductive traits. The crosses demonstrated improved growth performance as indicated by heterosis for 16- and 20-wk BW. The difference in BW...
